Summary
Greg Tomasch is a Principal Engineer with deep, hands-on expertise in complex semiconductor capital equipment and a knack for turning interdisciplinary concepts into production-ready systems. With a PhD in Materials Science and decades of experience at Intel, Lam Research, Novellus and KLA-Tencor, he has driven measurable yield and reliability improvements through advanced fault detection, passive data collection, and instrumentation design. Equally at home in the machine shop and at the PCB, he has evolved into embedded development—building IoT devices, UAV flight controllers, and sensor-driven systems using C/C++ and microcontrollers. He excels at systematic troubleshooting and prototype iteration, routinely characterizing HV/UHV, thin film, etch and photolithography hardware to meet production goals. Based in Fremont, CA, Greg frames his recent IoT work as a second act that leverages his long history of practical instrumentation and process-hardware interaction to solve new autonomous and connectivity challenges.
